Listen to my voice Africa
a young educated African voice
will you listen Africa?
Will you hold my hand as
I stumble upon your rocky mountains
will you feed me as I walk
In you deserted country, Africa?
Will you stand by me as I grow up?
Dear Africa will you be proud
of me as your young African?
will you smile as I recite my life story,
as I was told sitting by the fire
Africa I want the happiness
of your sand through my toes
I want the smile of your Sun
on my cheeks
I want to hear the laughter of your rivers
As I camp in your mountains
Africa, ain’t I your baby?
Africa I invite you to stand
in my conference room as I recite my speech
I want you to clap your hands so hard
you’ll make me smile, but Africa
will you wait for me as I grow
